abstract   bibtex   
This paper studies the scaling capacity of asymptotically large wireless networks. It shows that even restricted one-dimensional mobility allows the total capacity of the wireless network scales linearly with the number of nodes. This implies that per-node capacity scales as a constant, demonstrating that even restricted mobility can be used to provide non-diminishing throughput for large-scale wireless networks. This is demonstrated by utilizing the multi-user diversity which is instantiated through node-mobility.
